    Nittos and 17"

    I agree I *should* be able. The guy who restored the car put on new rear fenders. The inside of the fenders rubs the tires so I had to roll them a little to clear the 245's.

    Nittos and 17"

    I run the Nitto 555's on my 72 with 17x8 rear wheels. They have much better traction than the tires that were on there. I can only fit 245's on the back so am limited on width. I really could use a lot more meat on the back as traction is a real challenge in my Challenger!!!

    Header choice

    Reasonable pricing on quality headers is what you want to spend. I've used the Dougs D453 with great success and TTI also has a set that would work for you. Really depends on if you want them ceramic coated or just plain. The plain ones come black but it is only shipping paint that will quickly...

    72 Challenger Fuel Tank Vent Size

    Thanks Terry. What size rubber hose goes on the vent nipples on the tank?

    72 Challenger Fuel Tank Vent Size

    Need to run a hard line from the mech fuel pump area to the side of the tank that would connect to one of the 4 tank vents tubes? What size tubing should I use? This is in prep for a return regulator setup.

    Dakota Digital gauges-mounting

    And if you ever want to get the digital fan controller, you'll need to have it in a spot where you can reach it to hold down the set button while you turn on the key. The DD instrument cluster comes with a toggle switch for this same purpose but the fan controller has a button. Odd to me why I...

    AC restoration or vintage air?

    In addition to what's been said; be sure to check the integrity of the wiring harness under the dash, engine compartment, and all the way back through the trunk. With it all out you may want to upgrade the system to handle the loads of today's equipment the factory never forsaw. I have a 1970...

    Rallye Overlay install

    Bottom line is to TAKE YOUR TIME with the process. Work the aluminum gently until it fits nicely into the plastic housing. At that point the tabs will align properly with the slots in the housing. I removed the standard instrument cluster in my Challenger and went to the rallye style (using...

    Why all the hype? 4 speeds

    Yeah to each their own. I enjoyed manual trans until my knee started to give out in stop & go traffic and I was not sure I would get home. A well built automatic with shift kit & nice converter is a blast to drive, probably weighs a lot less, and can be driven by my wife... well maybe!

    Fuel vapor line/charcoal canister

    Having a vapor return from the fuel filter, for example, is important especially during hot weather to prevent vapor lock.

    Fuel vapor line/charcoal canister

    If you want to keep the system 100% original then you'll need to replace the canister. If originality is not important to you then I would remove the vent lines going to the carb and plug them. Get a fuel filter to replace the one you currently have (that just has an in and out nipple) with the...

    Fuel vapor line/charcoal canister

    Personally I would not mess with the canister. I would either install a fuel filter with a return line (preferred) or use a pressure regulator with a bypass port. I would disconnect the vapor return line at the tank and get some compressed air and blow that line out. No telling how many little...

    American Autowire Install tips/questions

    When I wired my Duster the firewall opening for the connector block was used for the new block that comes with the kit. When installed the stock under dash ac system hit the new block. Not sure about E bodies. OE wiring will not work with the new kit, with few exceptions. You may be able to wire...

    Fuel Pressure Bypass Regulator Connection

    I have a 72 Challenger with a fuel tank that has emission tubes that are capped off. It does not have the vapor separator if it ever had one. I want to install a fuel pressure regulator that has a bypass so I can send excess fuel back to the tank. The tank fuel level sender does not have a...

    Thermoquad Rebuild Kit

    Their kit comes with replacement brass screws. I recommend the OP call them to ensure the screws the kit comes with will work for the Thermoquads.

    Thermoquad Rebuild Kit

    I would contact the folks at QuadrajetParts and ask them. The kit comes with instructions so I would assume it would explain just how to do it.
